IPhone :: Home Button Not Working - Have To Press Many Times?
Jun 7, 2012
My home button doesn't want to consistently work...one minute I'll have to press it in the center, the next it'll be in the top corner...sometimes I have to press it more then 10 times to find the right place!!!
From the last few days my I phone 3GS is giving me a hard time.. Its HOME BUTTON is not working properly. Have to press it 2-3 times and have to press it hard to make it work. I am now running 5.1 iOS, it had the same problem with 5.0.1 iOS too.
I have an iPhone 4S with ios 5.1 Whenever I press the home button twice to close some app or something, the phone restarts. There was this same problem yesterday and then automatically it got normal. Before that ,once with this issue I did a recallibration ( opening an app and then pressing and holding the lock button until the switch off slide appears and then holding the home button until I am back on the home screen) which solved my problem. This has happened many times with this phone , even when it was running on iOS 5.0.1.
I have iphone4, since quiet good time and the home button have defect in response, most of the time when I am in middle of app and wanna return to home screen, when I press it wont take me there but after the second or third pressing it respond. I believe there a dirt inside or something like that, cause almost 1.5 year since I bought it.
My iPhone 4 home button is not responsive if I press around the edges at the top and bottom.But it works fine if I press the left and right edges.Am I nitpicking? Should I return it? I already have a screen protector installed.
We have two iPhone...both 4. Both are running the latest software. We both have the same issue. One is that frequently when you press the home button to escape an app it doesn't work. If you press the on/off button and then go back to the home button it may work, but not always. It takes repeated tries to get a response.
The second, and perhaps related, issue is that calls frequently do not connect. I can select a contact from either my favorites or the contact list. When I select the name the phone appears to be dialing. You hear the ring once, but no more and the call doesn't connect. Then you can't end the call to start over you have to wait for it to decide to end.
I don't know whether to restore both phones or not. We are thinking of visiting the Genius bar, but we're sure they will work perfectly there.
I've updated to lollipop & new built update & everything works nice.. Love the new update so far.. Battery drains much faster though. Is there any possibility to change google now shortcut of home button long press? Can we set something else to that shortcut?
On the Galaxy S5, whenever you long-press the Home button, it brings up what appears to be a Google search page or something. Apparently I’m really bad at pressing buttons quickly (either that or the button is malfunctioning) because I keep accidentally bringing up this damn Google search page instead of the home screen.
Is there any possible way to disable the long-press or even just change what it does??? I’ve searched through the phone’s settings and all over the internet and haven’t found anything useful yet.
Basically I'm having some issues with my HTC Sensation, and I was just wondering if it was a common problem or if it's completely unheard of. What's happening is that whenever I press the home button on the bottom of the handset, it will take a screen capture (even when I don't press the lock button). It's kinda tempremental, however it's doing it about 3 times a day...and the only way to stop it is by restarting the phone!I have done a factory reset on the phone and updated all its software but that hasen't seemed to in the slightest.
I install an app on the playstore for remote control of kodi on my htpc computer , after uninstalling it , noticed when I long press and hold my home button It no longer opens up voice search, it opens google now cards page I then have to click on the mic button at the top to perform a voice search.
Is there a way to reset this ? , I uninstalled updates on google app cleared data ect , now when I press and hold my home button I only get these 2 options.
If I select "google" it opens google now page (same way as above)
Looking for a way tog et pack the long press home button and you can instantly start talking to the google voice .
everytime when you press home button to activate the phone, you need to drag the lock icon at bottom to right hand side in order to operate the phone function, pls advise how to elimenate this process? can just press home button & go straight to choose call phone or write message or music
My buttons seemed to have stopped working properly. In order to adjust the volume using the side button, I have to shut down the phone and then restart it. It will work for a while and then stops working and I have to go thru the process again. The home button just works whenever it wants. It doesn't fix the problem when I restart the phone. I can slide my finger in a circle around the button and it still doesn't work.
My phone came up with a message asking if i wanted to update to the new software so clicked ok, it seemed to be taking ages and then suddenly went off. Now when holding down the power button and the home button it is still not working and wont restore?
have had my iphone for almost 1 and a half years, and about 8 months ago my home button started wrecking; i would press it and it would either not open the iphone (take it off sleep mode to show lock screen) or the button would get stuck in and would start the voice control.. then about one week ago my vibrate button wasnt vibrating, even when i got a call or message or alarm... around one year ago, my camera started wrecking; like i would go into it and it would be blurry, and over the past year it has been getting worse and worse, and now i cant use my back camera at all.
My Photon automatically defaults to the dial screen when I press the call button from the home screen. It used to display the last tab used or recent calls if I had missed one. I have scanned through all of the options and can't seem to find an option to change this.
The last 3 days the home button sometimes works then it doesnt! I recently updated to the newest software. I have restored abd restarted yet it still works on and off!
I bought an iPhone 3G off eBay back in August 2010, and it's been okay up until a few months ago. It started breaking at the top so I had to sellotape the lock button on, but I'm not too bothered about that.
Recently, I must've fallen asleep leaning on it and the home button stopped working (after it had started being a little faulty and not working every now and then for about 2 weeks previously), and I woke up the other day to find a crack on the screen, and a few days later, another crack. I'd already had a very small one right at the bottom.
Even more problems now, it's very difficult to get my iPhone to charge. I think I've broken something on the inside to make it charge, and I'm pretty sure it's not the charger.
The problem is, there isn't an Apple store very near me, and I'm not sure if it's under warranty as I got it off eBay, but I doubt it is. Does anyone know how much it would cost to fix it, from a shop in a market? If push comes to shove, I can go to the Apple store but it is quite a way away.
I have the iphone 4 and dont have insurance on it and my home button dosnt work a lot of the time. i was wondering if i would have to pay for a new iphone or it could be fixed.
